We have a DS6800 with flashcopy 2. We use the following to flash 37 volumes COPY FULL INDY(USERxx) OUTDY(FSERxx) PUR ADMIN - DUMPCOND FCNC FR(REQ) ALLDATA(*) ALLEXCP The job takes about 20 seconds and completes with a cond code of 0. Then about 4 hours later run job to dump target to tape using following DUMP INDD(DASD) OUTDD(BACKUP) FCWD The job fininhes with cond code 0. The next day when run Copy job again get cond code of 8 with System abend code=0213 (but not on EVERY volume just on 9 of them). If I init the target volumes this seems to fix it. Just want to know if this is S.O.P. (copy,dump then init). Or is this WRONG. os is 1.7
